A Novel Grape Downy Mildew Resistance Locus from Vitis rupestris
Podolec, Michelle (Cornell University, 2021-03)USDA Scientist Jason Londo, based at Cornell AgriTech identified a new genetic DNA marker associated with downy mildew resistance. This new locus can be incorporated into grape breeding programs. -
Using cell phones to obtain accurate prebloom cluster counts
Podolec, Michelle (Cornell University, 2021-08)Viticulturist Justine Vanden Heuvel and engineering professor Kirstin Peterson devise low-cost procedure to count clusters for crop estimation. -
Determining which vegetative index is best for your vineyard
Podolec, Michelle (Cornell University, 2021-08)Tractor-mounted sensors use optical sensing to measure canopy fill. This study compared different combinations of wavelengths that comprise different "vegetative indexes". -
It’s all in your head(space). Researchers invent automatable method to measure free S02 in wine
Podolec, Michelle (Cornell University, 2021-05)The Sacks lab presents a new and easily automated method of measuring "truly" free S02 using headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC). -
A New, Satellite NDVI-Based Sampling Protocol for Grape Maturation Monitoring
Wiepz, Rebecca (Cornell University, 2020-05)Cornell Extension Educator Jim Meyers, working with Justine Vanden Heuvel's program and E. J. Gallo scientists, developed an image analysis-based method for using Landsat satellite images to select single, representative ... -
Grape mapping populations reveal genetic variation in bloom and fruit development
Martinson, Timothy A.; Kovaleski, Al; Reisch, Bruce (Cornell University, 2020-08)Bruce Reisch's three related mapping populations are helping discover genetic markers for a variety of traits such as timing of bloom and fruit development. -
X-ray imaging allows nondestructive investigation of grape bud morphology and freezing
Wiepz, Rebecca (Cornell University, 2020-03)The use of microtomography (3D X-ray imaging) allowed Grad student Al Kovaleski and USDA scientist Jason Londo to track changes in bud structure during deacclimation and freezing events. -
Economic Studies Reinforce Efforts to Safeguard Specialty Crops in the United States
Podolec, Michelle (Cornell University, 2021-03)Cornell virologist Marc Fuchs and collaborators documented significant economic impact of 'clean plant' programs in grapes and other specialty crops. -
Elimination of the Crown Gall Pathogen, Agrobacterium vitis, from Systematically Infected Grapevines by Tissue Culture
Wiepz, Rebecca (Cornell University, 2020-05)Recently-retired scientist Tom Burr's program successfully eliminates crown gall through tissue culture and use of the sensitive 'magnetic capture hybridization' test developed by the Burr laboratory. -
The Influences of Music on Perception of Oaked Wines - a Tasting Room Case Study in the U.S. Finger Lakes Region
Wiepz, Rebecca (Cornell University, 2019-11)Kathy Latour, associate professor of services marketing in the Cornell School of Hotel Administration, investigated how complementary music affected the tasting room experience and wine sensory characteristics at a Finger ...
